    BC Partner for Vail Pass/East Vail 12-22 to 12-31?

    Hey Guys,
    I am lookin for a potential partner to hit up some backcountry around Vail with from this upcoming Friday 12-22 through New Years. I am a 21 year old undergrad at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden where I live and I will be staying in Vail for 8 days and am lookin to check out the East Vail Chutes, Mushroom Bowl, Machine Gun Ridge/Lions Head towards Minturn/Camp Hale, Some of the BC hike access stuff off of Earl's Bowl at Blue Sky Basin, ect... I know Vail inbounds extremely well and out of bounds moderately well, and have hiked most of thesr areas before. I ski on 06' K2 Seth's mounted with the Marker Duke AT bindings and some G3 Climbing Skins, and have avy gear [Beacon, Shovel,probe, GPS, Avalung] and know how to use it. I Like to ski mostly steeps and trees but occasionally will mess around in the park and can't pass up rippin a zipper line in bumps. I have pretty good BC experience and like to hit pretty gnarly terrain and would expect the same from you. If you have an AT or Tele setup that would def. be a big +++ too; saves time and effort hiking. If you have a sled then we are golden haha... I'm also always down for hittin some of Vail's inbounds stashes, most of which I know pretty well, always am lookin for new people to ski with. Anyways yeah give me a holler if you'll be in the area and wanna hook up, also I have room at my place for 1 or 2 people for a few nights if someone wants to come up from D-Town or somewhere and ski with me a bit.
    Peace,

    I'm afraid I don't follow..... I left newschoolers.com and those kind of websites becuase I though I could find some more mature, legit skiers at TGR. I Guess I was wrong? Is this the kind of shit that happens on here all the time, dumbass punk kids talking trash for the hell of it? I ski over 70 days a season, am a full-time student at one of the best technical universities in the world, and have ripped some of the toughest terrain with style at places Like Whistler, Jackson Hole, and Silverton. I've met Seth Morrison and skied with pros in Jackson before. But you know I don't feel the need to advertise this because for me skiing is just about going out and having fun regardless of who you are and how good you are. We are all on here because we like to ski, no? Then why do we have to resort to such childish pranks... whatever. I'm probably out of here.

    I peed in a stall next to Tiger Woods and met Herman Maier in the same day. Bode refused to autograph my ass.............
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Angry Little kids spooing at the mouth!

    Yes, it is a lot of shit on this site, Little fat kids spooing at the mouth is the new maggots.
    You sound like you know what your doing and you have good gear and you respect the terrain your skiing have fun. I skied East vail chutes many times, stick to the spine of "Old Mans" to start out, your safe and you can check out the other lines for lap two.
    Have fun,
    and Ski Heil
